Snow Day

Posted on February 20, 2025 by dpmckinney

It’s been since 2018 since we had a really good snow. But this February we got just enough to have a little fun. It was Winsten’s first snow and he kept trying to attack Katie on the way down. Lol. I don’t know if he thought he was saving her from falling or what…

Carowinds! Our First Time -for the win!

Posted on June 16, 2018 by dpmckinney

Too funny. The girls were like, let’s start slow then move up to the bigger rides. Well that didn’t happen. First ride was the intimidator then off to the largest roller coaster in NC the Fury 325! After that nothing but extreme coasters. At the end of the video is a frontal view of the Fury as if you were the passenger. 🙂

Strawberry Picking with Friends

This is absolutely our favorite place to pick strawberries. They are always so tasty and we get fresh chocolate milk for the ride home.

Our After School Treats

Posted on March 3, 2017 by dpmckinney

You can usually find us somewhere after school whether it’s Pelican’s or here at the local Froyo shop. They loved it until they got rid of their favorite flavor. And Katie was going through her “I’m not going to smile phase”. LOL.

The State Fair

Posted on October 23, 2015 by dpmckinney

October is such a busy month. I wish we could spread it out a little. But we do love the fair. The girls HAVE to have a snow cone on the way in and on the way out. I personally have to have funnel cake and John usually has to try whatever new crazy fried thing they introduce. Sadly we were a little late getting to the fair this year so we left school a little early and Daddy couldn’t get off to come. But the girls rode their first BIG roller coaster and loved it! Well, loved it and hated it as it should be…

We’ve got Braces!

Posted on June 22, 2015 by dpmckinney

Well Katie had been fighting me for over two years that although the dentist insisted she needed braces and all the X-rays in the world showing a tooth coming in right behind her other permanent tooth she still insisted that she would NEVER get braces. As it happens I told the girls only 3 horse shows per year but low and behold the horse show of horse shows is coming at the end of the year at the convention center no less. She offers a deal… “I’ll get braces if you let me do the horse show!” me… “DEAL!” Here we go!

Finally Hannah has hit the big leagues! They now BOTH love to ride the scary rides but the balloon game where you automatically with the free stuffed animal is still the all time favorite with snow cones coming in a near 2nd place. For Daddy and I? Definitely the food!

Don’t play with your dinner!

Posted on April 1, 2014 by dpmckinney

Hannah and I were doing a little fill in grocery shopping when we walked by the lobster tank. We had made lobsters once before. She didn’t love them but she did enjoy watching them run around on the kitchen floor. She begged me to get one so I bought one to cook just for myself. POOR ME. As they took the lobster out of the tank, the one Hannah picked out specifically, he flipped his tail at her throwing her water all over her shirt making his feelings well know.

And just when we thought we were done with the snow…

Hopefully our last winter storm of the year… We got lucky they cancelled school in the fore site of the storm coming because when it came, it came FAST. Poor Daddy took 3 hours to get home in all the traffic and snow. But the kids in the neighborhood built this snow ramp and the girls had a blast flying down it! Getting’ some AIR!!!!!!

Snow Day 3

And it is starting to feel like we will never go back to school and this will never end.. BUT it was beautiful blue skies and still SO much fun.

Snow Day #2

Posted on January 29, 2014 by dpmckinney

Ah day two and sun! A full day of sledding down the golf course hills. Never being a golfer myself I have never appreciated being across the street from one of the holes. But NOW I do. Finally something in it for me and it was AWESOME! LOVE IT! Oh and so did the kids. Just bummed Daddy had to go to work. Oh wait, he’s the boss so he’s the one to blame! 😉
